Who Is This Robert Mueller, Now Special Counsel To Direct The FBI’s Trump/ Russian Probe?

The following is some background material regarding the recently appointed Special Counsel Robert Mueller who is to lead the FBI’s Trump/ Russian probe.

After Robert Mueller (now 72 years old) left the FBI (2001-2013), he spent a year as a consulting professor and lecturer at Stanford University, where he focused on cyber-security issues.

After Stanford, he joined the private law firm WilmerHale as a partner. He is expected to resign from the firm so he can avoid conflict of interests as he oversees the Russia investigation.
